What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Under New York law, employers are required to have workers’ compensation insurance to protect their employees if they suffer an injury during the course of employment or develop a disease caused by workplace conditions.

Any employee of a New York company should be covered under New York State Workers’ Compensation as long as they have suffered a work-related injury or illness. However, even though you may be entitled to benefits, successfully filing for benefits is a difficult process that demands the assistance of an experienced New York workers’ compensation attorney.

Immediate Steps to Take If Injured on The Job

If you are injured during the course of employment or suffered a work-related illness, it is important that you:

  • Immediately give notice to your employer about your injury or illness, as failure to properly report an injury or illness may jeopardize your right to workers’ compensation benefits.
  • Seek medical treatment for your injuries or illness.
  • File a workers’ compensation claim with the help of an experienced New York workers’ compensation attorney.

Benefits Available In a Workers’ Compensation Claim

Workers’ compensation includes various benefits, such as:

  • Medical Benefits: these benefits include the necessary medical care, such as doctor visits, hospital care, surgery, prescription medications and any other treatment you may need during your recovery.
  • Cash Benefits: When you suffer a work-related injury or illness, you may also be entitled to receive two-thirds of your gross pay up to $600 per week. Because the exact amount differs and may change over time based on the specific facts of your case, you should consult with a New York workers’ compensation attorney for more information.
  • Death Benefits: Certain surviving family members of workers who died due to a job-related accident or illness, such as a spouse and/or minor children, may be entitled to death benefits.
